Spinal Orthosis

Spinal Orthotics:
Supporting Spinal Health

Spinal orthotics are essential devices designed to support, align, and stabilise the spine, providing relief from pain and promoting proper posture. These devices cater to various spinal conditions and are customised to meet individual needs. Below, we delve into different types of spinal orthotics and their applications:

Type of Orthotic

  • Lumbosacral Orthotics: Supports the lower back (lumbar region) and sacrum, providing stability for lower spine injuries or conditions.
  • Thoracolumbosacral Orthotics: Extends support from the thoracic to the lumbar spine, aiding in conditions affecting both regions.
  • Boston Brace: A custom-moulded brace designed primarily for treating scoliosis by applying corrective forces to the spine.
  • Milwaukee Brace: Utilised in the treatment of scoliosis and other spinal deformities, extending from the pelvis to the neck to provide corrective support.

Boston Brace: Corrective Support for Scoliosis

The Boston Brace is a custom-moulded orthotic designed primarily for treating scoliosis, a condition characterized by abnormal curvature of the spine.

Functionality:

This brace applies corrective forces to the spine, gradually straightening the curvature and preventing further progression of scoliosis.

Customisation:

Each Boston Brace is tailor-made to the individual's unique spinal curvature, ensuring optimal correction and comfort.

Usage:

It is worn for several hours each day and can be adjusted as the spine realigns, typically during adolescence, when scoliosis progression is most rapid.

Milwaukee Brace: Versatile Support for Spinal Deformities

The Milwaukee Brace is a versatile orthotic device used in the treatment of scoliosis and other spinal deformities.

Functionality:

Extending from the pelvis to the neck, the Milwaukee Brace provides corrective support for the entire spine, helping to realign and stabilise spinal curvature.

Adjustability:

The brace is adjustable to accommodate growth and changes in spinal curvature over time, ensuring continued effectiveness.

Effectiveness:

It is effective in preventing further progression of scoliosis and promoting proper spinal alignment, particularly in adolescents during periods of rapid growth.
